Lost Update on App
-
I have been working on a poem for weeks. I made some major updates on November 15 around 12:40 pm but when I hit update to save them, the screen refreshed and none of them had been saved. I just went in to check today and all those valuable changes have been lost! I am beyond frustrated as this is a complicated poem with specific rules. The whole reason I was using the app was that I wanted to be able to edit the piece whenever and wherever I was. Now I can’t trust it.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

To locate drafts Dashboard > Posts > All Post > Drafts
http://silverleafjournal.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=postProvided you did not create the post in the new Beep Beep Boop editor where it’s saved only on your browser, and is not auto-saved to the servers for your blog I can help you with this.
If the post was created on the dashboard of your own blog at Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New then you ought to be able to recover a lost post or page from revisions if needs be.

I recommend:
1. Always create your posts on the dashboard of your own blog at
2. Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New
3. Immediately after creating a post and entering a title click the save draft link. Thereafter, “click save draft” frequently.
4. Always allow pages to fully load before clicking any other links.
5. Never leave a post or page open for content creation or editing and walk away from it, or open another tab in the same blog and work on something else while it is still open. Save it properly and return to edit it later.
6. Use an offline blog editor so you have backups on your own computer http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/If you cannot locate a revision or restore from Trash then the content has been lost and cannot be recovered.

Wonderful, thank you! I had created it on Dashboard, and then updated it (saving obsessively) from my iPhone. So glad you pointed out the revisions!
